Instruction manual

EXECUTION ERRORS
Message: -200,”Execution error”
A valid command could not be executed because of the unrecoverable TRIP
condition in the related channel(s) or the numeric data given in the command exceeds
the maximum allowed hard limits or the Soft Upper Limits which were set by the Limit
commands. In such cases the instrument generates the Execution error.
DEVICE-SPECIFIC ERRORS
Message: -300,”Device-specific error”
A Device specific failure has occurred or some fault is detected on any one or
more channels of the instrument. When the CHANNEL is ‘Tripped because of the Over
Voltage Protection, Over Current Protection or Over Temperature Protection, this error
is generated. To read the exact cause of the TRIP on that channel the Status Question-
able Data Event Register contents have to be read.
Message: -330,”Self-test failed”
The instruments complete self-test failed from the remote interface (*TST? com-
mand). The result of the self-test is separately reported in the response of the *TST?
query command. The decimal number, which is in response to the above query, indi-
cates what exactly has failed in the Self-test. Refer to next page for more details.
QUERY ERRORS
Message: -400,”Query error”
A Query error is reported when the controller tries to read the instrument’s OUT-
PUT BUFFER without first, sending the query. For every response to be received, a
query command has to be sent first. Also in the READ? query, if the <Channel_list>
does not contain any valid CHANNEL number then also the Query error is recorded.
